| Closing the Loops, Reuse of Wastewater |
|
A pilot project of effluent treatment plant for hospital effluent has been constructed and is successfully operational since May 2008, in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore under the Manipal PPP project implemented by HAWA.
An innovative technology called "Decentralized wastewater Treatment System (DTS)" has been used for tertiary treatment of effluent which makes effluent safe for flushing in toilets and gardening. The hospital saves about 0.5 million rupees per annum through reuse (182 million litres of water). A Biogas recovery plant is being considered as a next step. The project success has led to replication of the model in two other hospitals in Bangalore. Training modules were prepared on Bio-Medical Waste Management for all the target groups and about 356 staff members of Manipal Hospital were trained on these modules.
This initiative leads to developed instruments for hospital waste management in one city which can be replicated further. |
